This change updates our DDL syntax support to allow for using 'STORED AS PARQUET'
as well as 'STORED AS PARQUETFILE'. Moving forward we should prefer the new syntax,
but continue to support the old. I made the same change for 'AVROFILE', but since
we have not yet documented the 'AVROFILE' syntax I left out support for the old syntax.

The Impala CatalogService manages the caching and dissemination of cluster-wide metadata.
The CatalogService combines the metadata from the Hive Metastore, the NameNode,
and potentially additional sources in the future. The CatalogService uses the
StateStore to broadcast metadata updates across the cluster.
The CatalogService also directly handles executing metadata updates request from
impalad servers (DDL requests). It exposes a Thrift interface to allow impalads to
directly connect execute their DDL operations.
The CatalogService has two main components - a C++ server that implements StateStore
integration, Thrift service implementiation, and exporting of the debug webpage/metrics.
The other main component is the Java Catalog that manages caching and updating of of all
the metadata. For each StateStore heartbeat, a delta of all metadata updates is broadcast
to the rest of the cluster.
Some Notes On the Changes
---
* The metadata is all sent as thrift structs. To do this all catalog objects (Tables/Views,
Databases, UDFs) have thrift struct to represent them. These are sent with each statestore
delta update.
* The existing Catalog class has been seperated into two seperate sub-classes. An
ImpladCatalog and a CatalogServiceCatalog. See the comments on those classes for more
details.
What is working:
* New CatalogService created
* Working with statestore delta updates and latest UDF changes
* DDL performed on Node 1 is now visible on all other nodes without a "refresh".
* Each DDL operation against the Catalog Service will return the catalog version that
contains the change. An impalad will wait for the statestore heartbeat that contains this
version before returning from the DDL comment.
* All table types (Hbase, Hdfs, Views) getting their metadata propagated properly
* Block location information included in CS updates and used by Impalads
* Column and table stats included in CS updates and used by Impalads
* Query tests are all passing
Still TODO:
* Directly return catalog object metadata from DDL requests
* Poll the Hive Metastore to detect new/dropped/modified tables
* Reorganize the FE code for the Catalog Service. I don't think we want everything in the
same JAR.
